Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
ARRRGGHH - the lawyer I have been using to help with the readoption had 1) never done one in Queens 2) was not using family court documents 3) told me I had to do something that I DID NOT HAVE TO DO (waste of my lunch hour yesterday).
I think I may take a half day and just go out to the family court myself, get the forms and see if I can do this without a lawyer. I swear!

Things that annoy:
Websites that make you create an account or go through the entire order process before you can find out what shipping costs are. Fuck that. Far as I'm concerned you lose the order.
I love what Snoopy's saying too.
An expanse of custom sneakers.
It's not quite a carnivore, but Amazon does have a range of product. And it massages!
Budget underground living. Not for me, I don't think.
I can't imagine living underground. I have a hard enough time dealing with my north-facing apartment that lets in no sun except for a few minutes at sunrise and sunset in the summer. My next place will definitely have more than one exposure so I can get sun throughout the day.
As a child and young adult I really wanted a fully underground house, like with a hatch entrance.
I would be scared to live in that home under ordinary circumstances, much less a heavy rainstorm.
Back when mom was house hunting, one of the places we looked at had an honest-to-goodness bomb shelter buried in the backyard. Complete with hatch and ventilation system.
It was an odd but interesting house.
A public service message based on my own experience: Get the fucking mammogram. My quite extensive tumors were never detectable by touch, even by surgeons who had seen the mammogram and know they were there. Also, while you hear more about the "breast cancer gene" and cancer running in families, in fact more than 70% of breast cancer patients have no known family risk. I'm the first woman in my family in a century to have breast cancer, and the few other cancers have all followed years of smoking like a chimney.
Yeah, my mom's breast cancer was found on her first mammogram. At 40. It was not tumorous. So wouldn't have been found by self exam. (I'm told I have to start getting them at 35) (She's these days a 20+ year survivor)
